Discover Dublin’s Hidden Gems and History with Eamon, Your Local Storytelling Guide

I grew up just 30 miles from Dublin, in the picturesque countryside of County Meath, where I was raised on a small dairy farm. Surrounded by woods, streams, and wildlife, I developed a deep love for nature and the outdoors—a passion that remains with me to this day.

After completing college, I entered the world of finance, starting in banking and progressing through roles in stockbroking, commodities trading, and mutual funds. For 20 years, I built a career in finance, but my true passion has always been history. As a child, I spent countless hours immersed in ancient maps and history books, driven by an insatiable curiosity to learn about the past.

Today, as a full-time qualified tour guide, I’ve turned that lifelong passion into a career, and I couldn’t be happier. I love sharing Dublin’s rich history with visitors, bringing it to life through engaging storytelling and the occasional reenactment of historical conversations to make the characters and events feel tangible and alive.

As a proud Irishman, conversation comes naturally to me. I enjoy showing visitors the authentic Dublin—the hidden gems away from tourist traps, the proper local pubs, and the stories that only locals know. My goal is to provide an experience that captures the essence of what makes Dublin unique.

In addition to my love for history and guiding, I’m also well-traveled, having lived in London and New York and explored destinations as far-flung as Russia, Mongolia, and the Middle East. These experiences have broadened my perspective and deepened my appreciation for the stories that connect people across cultures.

Our Guide Eamon was excellent, interesting and funny. We came away from this tour with a real appreciation of the fascinating city of Dublin , and an understanding of what an amazing contribution The Irish have given to the world of literature. We want to return !!

We had a company event in Dublin and decided to do a walking tour. There were four groups of us, and while I’m sure all the guides were awesome, we got the best one—Eamon was just over the roof 🙂 He really loves the city and enjoyed sharing this love with us.

My husband and I had an incredible 5-hour walking tour today with Eamon! From the minute we started the tour, it was evident that Eamon was very passionate about his job and had a ton of energy! His supreme historical knowledge really showed through during the entire tour. Thank you, Eamon, for making our visit to Dublin so special and memorable! You did an amazing job!

Eamon O’Sullivan was the best! We have used many tour guides over the years and Eamon was, hands down, the very best. His attention to detail and local knowledge was stupendous. Showed us many nuggets only locals would know. Do not hesitate booking the lad. Thanks a million Eamon!

Did the walking tour with Eamonn who was the most knowledgeable guide we’ve ever had (we’ve done private walking tours in London, Barcelona, Vienna, etc.). Eamonn completely customized the tour according to our preferences and was flexible during the tour for changes. Great communication before the tour.

First time to Dublin with our family. Eamon was our tour guide and couldn’t be happier with our experience. His stories and knowledge left us speechless I would recommend him to anyone he is the only tour guide you should use! Cheers long live Ireland

We had an amazing walk through Dublin. Our guide Eamon was fantastic, entertaining and knowledgable. He was very flexible as well, as we had to move the end point and end time of the walk, and he brought us to our evening entertainment in time. The others didn’t even notice that this was not a usual part of the tour 🙂
